The ad agency CEO at the center of a racism and bullying lawsuit blogged about his 'punishing' experience

Alexei Orlov, the former global CEO of Omnicom ad agency RAPP who
resigned from his post this summer amid a
discrimination lawsuit brought against him by the company's
former US president, has blogged about his experience.

"Some of you who know me well are waiting and have been waiting
for me to react to certain things that have happened in my life
in the last punishing few months. But I have chosen instead to
reflect and at the right moment to respond in a way that is both
considered, thoughtful and responsible."

Orlov now serves as an advisor to the global CEO at Omnicom's DAS
group of companies. Marco Scognamiglio replaced Orlov as RAPP
global chief executive.
